TIME CAPSULE

WHAT IS LEFT BEHIND

HER ART

Our bodies are matching
Our bodies are glowing
Our bodies are covered with gold
Our bodies fit inside one another
Our bodies are covered with longing
Our bodies brace for a paint brush

HERITAGE

so that at least you will know
where I came from,
at least someone will know
where I came from.

RAILROAD

They couldn’t speak French
well and bought a ticket
to the wrong city that they decided
to go with because it was much closer:
their Strasbourg.

textiles: Welcome

POPPY

Red and blue on the dresser,
dust in the folds,
stretching towards the dim lamp.

CORAZON

to carry your corazon
in a matchbox
